3. Speed cameras are deployed as part of the strategy to reduce excessive speed and to establish a firm base for long-term change in driver attitude to speeding. Achieving these aims will lead to a reduction in the general level of speed, with a corresponding reduction in the number and severity of road crashes. The deployment of speed cameras is based on an intelligence assessment of locations, which have a road safety risk' or locations, which contribute to a road safety risk' at another location.

In assessing the road safety risk' for a location the following factors are considered:

whether the location has a crash history;

whether the location contributes to crashes in other locations;

whether the location has been identified by SAPOL Road Safety Audits as having a road safety risk;

whether the physical conditions of a location creates a road safety risk.

Speed cameras are then allocated a location where they will best reduce the risk of crashes.

Speed camera deployment is an important part of the road safety strategy, as speed remains a significant contributing causal factor in road crashes with higher speeds resulting in an increased chance of a crash and increased road trauma at a crash.

Murray Road, Port Noarlunga has had 12 crashes and one vehicle was recorded by speed cameras travelling at 102 km/h; this is 42 km/h in excess of the 60 km/h speed limit. There have been two complaints by local residents regarding speeding vehicles on Murray Road.

Swanport Road, Murray Bridge has had 20 crashes and one vehicle was recorded by speed cameras travelling at 106 km/h; this is 46 km/h in excess of the 60 km/h speed limit.

Barton Terrace West, North Adelaide has had 6 crashes and two vehicles were recorded by speed cameras travelling at 91 and 97 km/h this is 41 and 47 km/h in excess of the 50 km/h speed limit.
